A preliminary hearing for musician D4vd, accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, has revealed details of her fatal injuries. The autopsy report showed two sharp force wounds to the upper body, which the doctor who performed the examination testified could have been caused by stabbing.
The case against D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, hinges on the autopsy report and testimony from the doctor, which has left some questions about the cause of death and the timing of the injuries. The prosecution alleges that Burke began sexually abusing Rivas Hernandez when she was 13 and he was 18.
The preliminary hearing is being held to determine whether the case should go to trial. The defense team suggests that Rivas Hernandez could have committed suicide, while the prosecution alleges that Burke murdered her. Toxicology tests showed a low level of alcohol and inconclusive results for methamphetamine.
Rivas Hernandez was found dead in the trunk of a Tesla in September, and the prosecution plans to prove that D4vd murdered and dismembered her. The uncertainties surrounding the cause of Rivas Hernandez's death have raised questions about the case.
The next step in the case will be to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial. The prosecution will need to prove that D4vd is responsible for Rivas Hernandez's death, and the defense will argue that the evidence is not sufficient.
The outcome of the case will have significant implications for D4vd's career and the music industry. The case against D4vd is ongoing, and the preliminary hearing is expected to continue in the coming days.
